I don't know what a gaylander is , but I trust my Land Rover Freelander Td4 for it over and over again. Last year made two trips over this distance each in two days. This year certainly one trip is planned.

I wunt trust a kunt who always refers to his freelander as a gaylander , you buy the hype
Keep it between 2.5 and 3.25 K revs and aim to only tap your brakes when you reach your destination
edit: make sure all fluid levels are ok before departure

What a stupid question (if you don't mind be saying so)
. This is the sort of question that used to be asked in the motoring journels in the 50's & 60's (just not the Gaylander bit) when cars were not so reliable or used to modern high mileages. A modern vehicle is designed to travel many thousands of miles with nothing more than periodic checks (fluids, tyre pressures etc) and if you are putting a months worth of traveling into 2-3 days where is the problem???? It's hardly likey to think "oh I've driven too far today and I want a rest". If you personally have no faith in your vehicles reliability then get it sorted, it should provide reliable service between schedulled servicing intervals so if it doesn't then get it fixed.
By the way, just what IS a Gaylander, does it refer to the vehicle or the driver.

It was a sarcastic question, not intended to be serious. Hence the poll options. Looks like someone needs a sense of humour.

Eeza gaylanderer, 99% of them don't have a sense of humour which is ironic when you consider what they drive

Oh i've got a sense of humour, I find funny things incredibly amusing but you know what they say, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
Still seems a strange thing to ask, if it wasn't a serious question for genuine answers (go on, you can admit it to me and I won't tell anyone) and it certainly isn't amusing (I can't see Billy Connerly standing up in front of an audience and asking them the same question) then it seems a bit of a pointless task. Maybe someone has too much spare time on their hands, instead of typing inane messages maybe you should spend more time out in the garage putting right your unreliable vehicle?

I'll tell my wife you said that as she loves her F1, almost as much as I do my 90.

Oh i've got a sense of humour I keep it in a box under the stairs and let it out once a year, I find funny things incredibly confusing but you know what they say, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
Who's being sarcastic?

You really think this was a serious thread?

I don't own a gaylander so I don't need to spend all my time fixing it.

Who says it was a sarcastic thread? RichM who originally posted it, that's who!
Did I think it was serious? Well taking into account some of the posts you get on here yes I did. Anyway, if it wasn't serious why post it?
I don't own a Gaylander (just what is one of those?). My wife owns a Freelander and it is 100% reliable, just like my 90 in fact.

I own a Freelander 1, Series 3 109, Ducati Monster 900 (oldest in country), and thought of changing my BMW for an Alfa Spider. I mean, what could possibly go wrong??? :mil8:

Top answer in our survey!
As for them gargantuan tw'ts who think the whole slagging freelanders is STILL funny... have a little sympathy, you can imagine their family and carers have a tough time with the repetitive gibbering.
